Patent GB-1339909-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for stabilizing the control of coating
IPC: B05C11/10
Filed: 1970-12-22
Abstract: 1339909 Automatic control of coating material thickness FUJI PHOTO FILM CO Ltd 22 Dec 1970 [23 Dec 1969] 60914/70 Heading D1L [Also in Division G3] In an arrangement for controlling the thickness of coating material being applied to a paper web by a coating machine D (Fig. 3), a controller C1 produces an output signal 3 corrected in dependence upon any deviation in a measured actual thickness feedback signal 2 from a desired thickness value signal 1. Under normal conditions the controller Cl output is transferred directly to a controller C2 to act as a desired value reference therefor, and at the same time is fed to a memorizing device M via a switch S1. In the event of an abnormal condition-e.g. paper breaking-an abnormal condition signal 4 is fed back from the coating machine D to the memorizing device M whereupon switch S1 is opened and a contact Sa of a switch S is engaged. At the same time the abnormal signal 4 (now 5) is fed back to controller Cl to stop its automatic controllingi operation. Thus the memorized normal condition signal is fed from M to controller Cl (signal 9) and also to controller C2 and functions as the desired value or setting signal for C2 until the abnormal condition signal ceases, whereupon switch S1 closes and contact Sb is engaged and controller Cl resumes its automatic controlling operation - after a delay sufficient for stabilization of the coating condition and introduced by a time delay element E. The controller Cl is damped to prevent rapid fiuctuations of the control signal upon changeover from the memory signal 9 to signal 2.

Title: Electrodes for Microwave Therapy
Inventor: FRITZ KARL
IPC: A61N5/04
Filed: 1967-03-16
Abstract: 1,188,110. Treating with radiations. K. FRITZ. 16 March, 1967, No. 61189/69. Divided out of 1,187,019. Heading A5R. [Also in Division H4]  A microwave radiator device for medical use comprises a cylinder 18 having an end wall in which there is an array of slots 15. A second cylinder 19 co-axial with, and spaced from the cylinder 18 also has an end plate, from which projections enter the slots 15. In consequence, each slot 15 is divided into two parts, and the frequency of excitation is made such that the radiations from the two parts are in anti-phase. It is stated that the device is particularly suitable for skin treatment, as the radiation field is strong near the slots, but rapidly diminishes away from them.

Title: Method of an apparatus for analysing gas flows inside hollow bodies
IPC: G01F1/704
Filed: 1980-04-25
Abstract: In order to produce a visual image on a screen of the movement of gas flows inside hollow bodies, e.g. gas turbine or internal combustion engines, or wind tunnels, a gaseous tracer material including a short-lived radio-active isotope is injected into the hollow body. Radiation detectors 32 are positioned around a gas turbine engine 10 and linked to a computer 36 which is programmed using an image reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct the flow path of the isotope in suitable form. One suitable isotope is produced by irradiating carbon tetrafluoride using a stream of deuterons from a cyclotron 12. The resulting reaction produces an isotope of Fluorine which has a half-life of 11.56 seconds, and decays producing radiation at approximately 1.6 Mev. The activity of the isotope is raised to the highest feasible level by continuously irradiating the tracer material in a chamber 14 as it is pumped around a circuit prior to injection. The half lives of the isotopes used are in the range 3 seconds to 2 minutes. <IMAGE>
